Agastache 'Blue Fortune' is a sterile hybrid (A. rugosa × A. foeniculum) that combines the best traits of both parents: long-lasting, lavender-blue flower spikes, licorice-scented foliage, and a tidy, upright habit. It blooms from midsummer to fall without deadheading.
| Family: | Lamiaceae (lay-mee-AY-see-ee) |
| Genus: | Agastache (ah-gas-TAH-kee) |
| Cultivar: | Blue Fortune |
| Synonym: | Agastache rugosa × foeniculum |
This cultivar forms a clump 2–3 feet tall and wide. The foliage is medium green, not as golden as 'Golden Jubilee'. Because it's sterile, it puts all energy into flowering rather than seed production. It received the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Grow in full sun, well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established. Cut back in early spring. Hardy in USDA zones 5–9.
